SURVIVING THE HOLIDAYS
Making Peace With Family Visits

     If spending time with your family during the holidays makes you cringe, or you feel angry, confused or lost when you're with family members, you may be reacting to difficult situations from your childhood that still influence you. The good news is that you can free yourself from the upsetting effects of your upbringing. 

   Learn to handle those relationships and the emotions they stir up so you can understand and ovecome their negative effect. Through discussion, meditation, guided imagery and written exercises, you'll find out how to use problems with your family to spark change in your life, have better relationships, and access your innate wisdom.

SURVIVING A DYSFUNCTIONAL FAMILY
Ten Ways To Make Peace With The Past
And Create A New Future

     Making peace with the past means looking honestly at problems as opportunities to get clear about the part you've played in them. Creating a new future means rising above your internal barriers to success, happiness, and peace of mind, so you can shed old unworkable patterns, achieve your goals, and build a life you love. 
     This class is not just about getting along better with your relatives. It's a step-by-step guide to freeing yourself from unconscious patterns that keep you from being the person you want to be. Learn to use life's embarrassing, infuriating, frustrating and confusing moments to help you find meaning, purpose, and your connection with Spirit. The ideas and practices you learn here will help you:

* Trust your intuition. Using your preferences and abilities as both map and tools 
to discover and fulfill your best intentions and fondest dreams. 

* Find the lesson in difficult circumstances. Seeing uncomfortable situations and 
people as signs pointing you toward your inner wisdom by showing you where you're 
stuck and what you'd rather have. 

* Unravel your obstacles. Recognizing distorted behaviors and attitudes you've 
learned from your upbringing will help you release their power to upset or control
you. Repairing damaged relationships and letting go of irreparable ones allows you
to find loving, supportive intimacy. 

* Realize your dreams. Honoring your unique combination of talents and interests as 
the foundation of your courage to achieve your goals and bring your dreams into 
everyday life.

* Reconnect with spirit. Knowing that you are a spiritual being as well as a physical one. 
Spirit participates with you in life, strengthening your power to create what you want. 
Aligning what you do with who you really are makes life work better naturally.
